3DMark05 is Futuremark's latest version of the now-classic 3D benchmarking series. Very impressive results here for the Intel platform, as it passes the Athlon 64 processor in this 3D benchmark. Let's see if this is borne out in other gaming benchmarks.

AquaMark3 Source: Massive Development

AquaMark3 is a powerful tool to determine reliable information about the gaming performance of a computer system. Because the benchmark extensively utilizes DirectX9, DirectX8 and DirectX7 functionality, it represents the requirements of typical gaming applications.
